Elizabeth Hurley's Parrot Calls Her 'Mama'

Elizabeth Hurley’s pet parrot is quite the character. Ping Pong, a Blue Fronted Amazonian, calls her "mama" and even tries to send emails!

Hurley wrote on her twitter page: “Naughty Ping Pong gave me a hard nip this morning & then put her head on one side & said 'Hello mama'. Cunning little beast.”

It seems the parrot, a breed of bird that is capable of mimicking human speech, has a naughty streak and has even been trying to take control of the 45-year-old beauty’s computer.

Earlier this week, she tweeted: “Ping Pong not helping much - she's sitting on my laptop, trying to send emails. Yes, she's taking over. Still a bit scared of her.”

As well as saying “hello mama”, Ping Pong has mastered some other phrases and even wolf whistles at the actress.

In another post on the micro-blogging website, Hurley - who has an eight-year-old son Damian from her brief romance with Steve Bing - added: “Still haven't had any parrot screeches and squawks, but lots of beautifully enunciated 'hellos' and some saucy wolf whistles.”
